An accessory (1) to be used for indicating the location of a golf ball on the field of play, wherein a brightly-colored waterproof piece of material contains a pocket (2) holding an object of the same or similar diameter as a golf ball, this pocket being either elasticized (2b) at its opening or sew
An accessory (1) to be used for indicating the location of a golf ball on the field of play, wherein a brightly-colored waterproof piece of material contains a pocket (2) holding an object of the same or similar diameter as a golf ball, this pocket being either elasticized (2b) at its opening or sewn closed to prevent this object from being dislodged. To prevent movement of the indicator, weighting means (4a) can be sewn along the indicator's outside edge (3). A hole (8a) can be provided for easy hanging from a key chain or elsewhere, and markings (9) can be placed on the body of the fabric. The indicator is placed as closely as possible to the played golf ball without moving it, then retrieved for later use.

The invention to be claimed is: 1. An apparatus for readily indicating the position of a played golf ball on the field of play, comprising: a body manufactured from fabric having top and bottom surfaces and an outer edge; and an elasticized collar, said elasticized collar secured to the fabric body
The invention to be claimed is: 1. An apparatus for readily indicating the position of a played golf ball on the field of play, comprising: a body manufactured from fabric having top and bottom surfaces and an outer edge; and an elasticized collar, said elasticized collar secured to the fabric body such that a pocket accessible through an opening is formed on said body, an object consisting of a golf ball, said opening having a first opening size and a second opening size, said second opening size larger than said first opening size, said second opening size achieved when an operator using a stretching means stretches said elasticized collar, said second opening size at least sufficiently sized to permit insertion of said object into said pocket, said opening closing down in size towards said first opening size when the stretching means is removed, whereby the size of the pocket opening is sufficiently reduced such that the object is retained completely within said pocket such that the object cannot accidentally be dislodged, and whereby the object can be removed from the pocket only by increasing the size of said opening towards said second opening size, to a size sufficient to allow the object's removal. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the fabric of the body is nylon. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the elasticized collar is sewn into the body. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the elasticized collar is externally affixed to the body, said collar thereby looping around the golf ball or object. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the circular pocket is sewn tightly closed along said body of the apparatus at said circular pocket's outer edge. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the outer edge of the body is oversewn along the perimeter or outermost circumference of the body to form a pocket. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, further comprising a plurality of weights to be sewn into the pocket. 8. The apparatus of claim 6, further comprising a single weighting means running continuously along the perimeter or outermost circumference of the body to be sewn into the pocket. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a ring to be sewn into the body of the apparatus, said ring defining a hole in the body of the apparatus. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said ring is manufactured from metal. 11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said ring is manufactured from plastic. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising markings placed on the top surface of the body of the apparatus, said markings chosen from the group consisting of letters, numerals, or graphics.
